Replicating to a self-managed target Core

Replicating to a self-managed target Core
This configuration applies to replication to an off-site location and to mutual replication. The following steps are
prerequisite:
•
The Rapid Recovery Core must be installed on all source and target machines.
•
If you are configuring Rapid Recovery for multi-point to point replication, you must perform this task on all source Cores
and the one target Core. For descriptions of these replication configurations, see
.
•
If you need to create a seed drive and transfer it to a physical removable storage volume to perform the initial transfer
of existing recovery points, you must have a suitable portable storage device prepared. You must also have physical
access to the source Core machine, to attach the drive to copy the seed drive archive.
•
If using a seed drive in a self-managed target Core, you or a trusted administrator must have physical access to the
target Core.
A self-managed target Core is a Core to which you have access. For example, a self-managed Core is often
managed by your company at an off-site location, or is hosted at a different geographic location than the source
Core. Replication can be set up entirely on the source Core, unless you choose to seed your data using a seed
drive. In such cases, you must create a seed drive using this procedure, and later attach the seed drive to the
target Core to consume the archived recovery point data. For more information, see
Complete the steps in the following procedure to configure your source Core to replicate to a self-managed target
Core.
1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core console of the source Core.
2. On the button bar, click Replicate.
The Replication Wizard appears.
3. On the Target Core page of the Replication Wizard, if you are establishing replication with a target Core
that has been paired with this source Core previously, select Use an existing target Core, and then select
the appropriate target Core from the drop-down list. Skip to step 5.
4. On the Target Core page of the Replication Wizard, if you are establishing replication with a target Core
from this source Core for the first time, select I have my own Target Core, and then enter the information as
described in the following table.
Table 128. Target Core information
In the Host Name box, enter the host name or IP address of the Core machine to which you are replicating.

The default port number is 8006. In the User Name box, enter the user name for accessing the machine. In the
Password box, enter the password for accessing the machine.
